Devil's Den is another of my favorite spots in Gettysburg. As morbid as it may sound, it's fun to play on the rocks, however, this was definitely a bloody scene during the civil war.
Devils den is located just west of Little Round Top. Devils den saw action on July 2, 1863 due to General Robert E. Lee's flank attacks, when Lieutenant General James Longstreet's confederate corps attacked the divisions of Major General Daniel Sickles' III Corps of the Army of the Potomac.

The Confederate's were victorious in this battle which left 800 union soldiers and 1800 confederate soldiers dead.
